The study was carried out employing a descriptive-correlation surveying approach. The population of the study included all apple growers in Damavand (N=4400). Orchard owners (n=354) were selected through stratified random sampling technique. Questionnaires as well as interview were the tools used for gathering data.

A pilot test was conducted with the participation 30 orchard owners. Reliability for the overall instrument was estimated at 0.86. Apple producers believe that an appropriate method of harvesting is the most effective factor regarding a reduction in apple POSTHARVEST LOSSES.
